I don't know, it depends on how they manage it? What kind of a question is that?

As a person with tickets to multiple games near the end of the year I hope he signs and plays. entertain me now please!
Purely out of curiosity, has a CHL/USHL player ever joined an NCAA team part way through a season? It's possible they could step in for spring semester, no? We've seen it happen in the opposite direction with guys like Coyle and Bracco heading to the CHL from college.
Well, a CHL player would be unable to, as they violate NCAA amateur status.
I suppose a USHL player could, but I'm unfamiliar with the process.

If you play a single CHL game, you're ineligible to go to the NCAA.
If you play a CHL game you can’t play in the NCAAs.
If you are playing in the USHL and want to go to NCAA midseason, my guess is that there is an NCAA rule that prohibits that.
Even without such a rule, the main issue is admissions. Most schools don’t have rolling admissions for first year students. If you aren’t going to have the necessary credits to enter in the Fall then you won’t be accepted. There are also limited scholarships schools can give out and schools don’t typically give one out for a player to play half a year even if a coach leaves one unused. There’s the process of applying to be a student athlete. Essentially even if there isn’t a specific rule, it’s a huge mess to make it work.

Nope
NCAA rules don't allow it
You can if you are a walk on from the school. AKA you are enrolled at the university. But again you can't have ever been paid.

McGuire on tanking for Jack Hughes "He's not McKinnon, he's not McDavid, he's not Matthews, I think it's a reach to call him a generational player, a big reach." McGuire goes on to add he is a good player and will make a difference, but he's not a generational talent.
Co-host Mitch Gallo threw Hischier's name out there as a comparable, McGuire agreed, Jack Hughes is that level of a star.

I thought he was being compared to Patrick Kane. Which would be definitely worth tanking for if we could add that level of player to the mix.
As for creativity. Quinn is the Rodney Mullen of the NHL.

I don’t think McKinnon was considered a generational talent or even in the same class as McDavid and Matthews. He definitely was a talented #1 in a deep draft.
I think Jack Hughes is a talented player and he’s going to be a star. Obviously having both Jack and Quinn here would be amazing.
As much as It would be incredible to even have the opportunity to draft JH, the chances of getting him are going to be very difficult. We would have to get extremely lucky. I think one of the next best things to getting a star player like this without giving up anything other than cash is in free agency.
Signing a player like Panarin would be outstanding. He and EP could be a dynamic duo on the first line. It might take a lot of cash and convincing to get a player like that to play on our current roster, but it’s worth a shot.

"Going up against Jack and Quinn Hughes is the toughest chore I have ever faced. They have such amazing hockey IQ, but to me the biggest thing is their skating ability. The way they can turn and gain speed and how explosive they are in every part of the ice. Whoever taught them how to skate ... I want to go to that person. They are unreal players, and every part of their game is pretty special."

If I recall Mackinnon wasn't even thought of as the definitive No. 1 choice in 2013, at least not here on HF Boards. I thought that year as a bit more of a "grey area year", I don't think anyone ever really referred to Mackinnon as a generational talent pre-draft (or even now).
Jack Hughes seems to be having a little bit of a let down year statistically, this is coming from someone who hasn't seen him play this year though mind you. I am going to be keeping a very close eye on him at the WJC tournament.
I know some posters believe that hockey players attend university to major in NCAA men's hockey. The reality is they're still attending classes and need to achieve the grades to continue to earn their hockey scholarships. So if any kid outside the university hasn't previously registered and actually showed up for classes, they can't simply walk in off the street.
So no, nobody from the CHL or the USHL is likely to ever transition from their club team to a NCAA University team at any point in the season.

McGuire also raved that we crushed the Panthers in the Gudbranson trade and gushed over Sutter being an "elite" penalty killer.
McGuire also famously roasted the Habs for picking Carey Price.
Bottom line? He's wrong a lot.
Not necessarily professional since you can't make a living off CHL money. You just can't get paid at all. You could get a bribe from a college and be deemed ineligible for the NCAA too.

I'm stoked to watch Quinn at the WJC! Kid's a stud, absolutely love this prospect, I think I have higher hopes for him than most people.
I think I read USA still needs to make six cuts. No need for him to play cause he’s a lock. Not that I thought you were being serious, just saying.
